Nothing particular stands out, core is built like always and appears when I try the online updater. Which platform?
Iâm running version 1.20.0 from Devuan repository. I know, itâs outdated, but before updating it I checked buildbot.libretro.com/assets/cores/ and I didnât find np2kai in latest release either.
Iâm on an Archlinux based system and its still on v1.20.0⌠And both np2kai appears in my list with the RetroArch Settings > Online Updater > Core Downloader > NEC - PC-98 (Neko Project II Kai). BTW your link points to the assets, which are not the cores itself. These are additional files to download. Not all cores have assets (not sure if this core had one before). To get the cores, you can download a bundle from https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.21.0/linux/x86_64/ and ânp2kai_libretro.soâ is included.

Okay, I think I got the answer. I donât know why it was that way from the beginning, but I was literally trying to find an option, that was turned invisible. Why is that a default setting? I thought that I maybe using some alternative or outdated frontend and âContent Downloaderâ and âCore System Files Downloaderâ should include cores files that Iâm looking for.
Thank you for your time and my apologies for going off-topic.
If it was installed with your distributions package manager, then the package created by your distribution might have different default settings maybe. In example on my Archlinux based system that I use BTW, installing RetroArch from the package manager canât use the Core Downloader by default. That is because the cores are installed and managed by the package manager in a directory that requires root rights.
So the solution to use the Core Downloader there is to change the RetroArch configuration to point the cores into a user directory with the cores. And donât bother installing any core with your package manager, because now RetroArch itself is managing it with the Core Downloader.
Well, I tell you that, because you installed RetroArch through the package manager in Devuan, right? That could explain why its set to off by default. And even if you set it on, you shouldnât be able to download and save the core, unless you change the directory where you are allowed to (in my case its ~/.config/retroarch/cores). So, make sure to test this and in case it does not work, change the directory.

Youâre absolutely right.
I couldnât install any core using built-in Core Downloader, so I just downloaded np2kai.so from a third party resource and manually copied it into usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libretro. And it finally worked. Although I encountered some minor visual glitches, like missing text in menus, but itâs unrelated.
Next day I tried changing directories, and it also works. I guess itâs a more proper way to solve this. Thank you.

If it works on your machine, you could also try the RetroArchâs AppImage build. Itâs updated and comes with the core downloader.

Hey, unsure if this is the correct topic for core requests, if it is, may I request a Genesis_plus core to run the recently âreleasedâ Paprium game on the Megadrive please? Asking specifically for custom? RetroArch running on Unico MVSX machine. Thanks and nice seeing you Masters here!
here is a working version

Geeetings. Are there any plans to port pcsx2 or lrps2 to ARM devices? Although Android has a way to play PS2 with nether sx2, ARM devices that use Linux arenât.
Thanks in advance.
no, someone would have to write open-source dynarecs for it, and no one has.
Please merge pull request for potator
I just noticed a function, not sure since how long it is been there: Settings > Playlists > Single-Click Playlists = ON. This is pretty cool, because usually if I click a game entry, I want it to run. To access the menu entries, we have to hold the OK button and then move/click at least once with D-Pad. Could we get a button assignment to âYâ (which is the find next random button, which I never use) for opening the menu?

Played Dolphin with weylus.
FFCC on the TV and all GBAs on the mobiles 
it was fantastic. Screen-Mirroring with weylus is super easy and simple.
Maybe weylus is an approach for libretro to mirror screens?

How does this work? The game would be displayed on the tablet? In that sense the monitor screen is mirrored to the tablet?
It is working with both. Either you mirror the screen to the phone/tablet, or you extend the screen to have a second, third, fourth, fifth screen on the phones or tablets.
Waylus can do everything. It is compatible with nvidia and amd and you can use android or ios devices as mirrored or extended screen. Because of the browser based solution, every device with a browser can display waylus content.
For instance you can extend the 2nd screen via waylus on the tablet/phone. This is helpful for DS, 3DS, WiiU or Dreamcast VMU. Weylus also has touchscreen support. So you can tap on the screen like on a real DS or 3DS or WiiU.
Other example is to use the extended screens for gb or gba multiplayer. Player one on the TV and the remaining players on the tablets/phones.

I need to throw a vote at this as well, this has always been a bit of a thorn when it comes to per-game core-options. Would be a wonderful improvement, especially for when core-options change over the years for a given core.

are any of the mame2003-plus-libretro developers in here?
A blog has been doing the rounds on Discord https://lysiwyg.mataroa.blog/blog/bringing-the-predators-to-life-in-mame/
Its about a prototype Williams arcade game called The Predators and the process porting it to a new Mame from old code that was found
Problem for me is it only makes the process for new Mame and I want to play this on my Pi 3 and that needs 2003-plus to perform well
2003-plus already emulates other Williams games, defender etc so if there are any 2003-plus developers here can they make a port of the code to 2003-plus too?
can you tag them if they are here
Final Burn Neo core version would also work for my Pi 3 if there are developers for it here instead of mame2003-plus-libretro
